. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the task and highlights lessons. Supplies inputs to 2 wider assessments- the local examination of ADB support for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational attainment and scarcity of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, lack of access to education in the external islands, and weak points in skills training and the occupation and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high joblessness because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Joblessness was particularly high amongst the youth and ladies in the outer islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable workers for existing job vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of appropriately experienced foreign workers. Hence, there was an inequality in between offered tasks and abilities of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions provided the initiative for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and occupation education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to enhance abilities training to provide trained workers required for sustained economic and social development. This was to be accomplished through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included four elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training enhancement, boosted skills training opportunities for ladies and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and work for students, especially ladies and youth in the outer islands. In general, the task was ranked not successful. Restricted development was attained in making the task responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector companies. The long-standing weakness of bad numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of basic education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with private sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and employment education training system has actually stayed essentially the same after job conclusion. The research study put forward that ADB could encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy discussion, to follow through on the government's

commitment to establishing a committed labour info system to connect technical and trade education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house personnel ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
